Hi,
I sure hope I am doing this right, and if not I'm sure you will all let me know!

I would like to say Hi all. I'm nervous as this is a first for me
I have always done alot of searching on forums but this will be my first to actually post and ask a question.
I spend alot of my time reading about computers and I'm a self taught tech??
;). Feeling pretty stupid right now, but I am hoping you are all gonna make me feel right to home.

My name is Karen and I'm in Arizona

Hey Karen, No worries -> welcome, if you have any questions or anything just ask, you know the saying - no stupid questions except the ones you don't ask.

Great to meet you Karen. Welcome to the forum. Don't worry about asking questions there are a lot of newbies like myself who have the same questions you do.
